So I took an edible before I played night golf last night. They don't really get me stoned/high, they just put my mind at ease. I did surprisingly well! Not something I plan on making a habit while golfing, but it made for a fun round!

84 at Heritage Harbor. Haven’t played in 18 days due to being sick. Still have a cough etc.. It was 52 degrees when we went out at 7:17. Just 2 of us and we both showed some rust. Had one birdie.

Day 1 of maybe retirement. Started out great. Had 7 makeable birdies on the first 7 holes. Made good runs at all, all putts past hole by 2-3 feet. 3 hard lip outs. None went in. +1 through 10, and then I must have realized that I hadn't picked up a club in 3 weeks. Started missing greens like crazy (but as I look back, the missed greens were with a 3w, 3h, 3h, 4h, 5i .... some long shots on a cool windy day didn't go so well). Had a nice 12 foot putt for a birdie and 79 on the last hole ... nope.

Shot 48/46 this afternoon. First round of 2024 and first with the KE4 Max irons. It was a bad day to take new clubs to the course without ever hitting them. So windy, I didn't know what club to hit. Just two gir. I would have had 3 more if I had chosen the right club, lol. I felt rusty, too. Driver was ok but I hit some pretty bad shots with irons and hybrids. The greens were inconsistent. Some faster than others. Multiple 3-putts and didn't make anything longer than 3 feet.

    MidwayJ Our course is gonna cover the greens this afternoon, expected to be closed for a week at least.

      DonM I understand why. I will be "winterizing" my outdoor faucets today.

      83 at Tarpon Springs. No birdies. 48 degrees when we went out at 7:13. Had three layers on and kept them on. Only had two of us today and we were done at 10:10.

      4 days later

      78 at Timber Greens. Had two birdies. Haven’t played there in a couple months and it’s in excellent shape. We were first out and went around in an hour and a half on the front 9. But they have members go out on the back and slowed us down.

        7 days later

        First round since November. Shot 46-45-91. Can't do anything right. Played Coral Oaks in Cape Coral, Fl.

          Typhoon

          Yup, unless you live on the Cape. lol But when I lived in Haverhill many put their clubs away at the end of October. I may start just playing golf here in Florida in the summer (April-October) because it’s getting too expensive.

          44-41-85 at The Club at Westminster in Fort Myers. I am such a hack. Lost 2 club lengths off all clubs. But I'm still hitting them pretty straight so how can you misfit it that bad that you lose that much distance but still hit it straight?. Such is my golf life.

            Eguller costs at least 1 club

            garyt1957 good point but I'm still one club shorter , then

            At least depending upon elevation. I spend a fair amount of time on the Southeast coast and
            always plan 'at least' one extra club, potentially more.
